1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Although extensive research has been conducted on algal polysaccharides worldwide, Mediterranean species remain comparatively understudied, despite the region's rich biodiversity and the presence of several endemic taxa with promising biotechnological potential. This review provides an overview of the major polysaccharides isolated from Mediterranean macroalgae, highlighting their structural features and bioactivities, as well as potential structure-activity relationships. Furthermore, the extraction and purification strategies used to isolate these biomolecules, ranging from conventional chemical approaches to emerging green technologies, were overlooked. Overall, the growing evidence of potent biological activities, combined with advances in sustainable extraction, underscores the significant potential of Mediterranean macroalgal polysaccharides as valuable resources unlocking new opportunities for their application in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, biomedical, and biotechnology fields.
